Let mortal tongues attempt to sing

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 25:1-11 Lyrics: Let mortal tongues attempt to sing The wars of heav'n, when Michael stood Chief general of th' Eternal King, And fought the battles of our God. Against the dragon and his host The armies of the Lord prevail: In vain they rage, in vain they boast, Their courage sinks, their weapons fail. Down to the earth was Satan thrown, Down to the earth his legions fell; Then was the trump of triumph blown, And shook the dreadful deeps of hell. Now is the hour of darkness past, Christ has assum'd his reigning power; Behold the great accuser cast Down from the skies to rise no more. 'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb, Thine armies trod the tempter down; 'Twas by thy word and powerful name They gain'd the battle and renown. Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star Shine with new glories round the sky; Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war, Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high.

Grant me to trust him; though shifting as sand, doubt cannot daunt me; in Jesus I stand. 3 Christ be my Saviour in calm as in strife; death cannot hold me for he is the Life. Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign. Used With Tune: SLANE

To shew how humble christians ought

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 25 Lyrics: 1 To shew how humble christians ought Thus to each other be, Christ with his own example taught, As plainly we may see. 2 Though he was Lord and Master Great, Who giveth all commands; He wash'd his own disciples feet, With his own blessed hands. 3 When thus their master with them del't, And prov'd his love to then; How must their haughty hearts have felt, To meet with such esteem. 4 May they who worldly honour seek, Learn what it is to be-- Like Jesus, humble, truly meek, From self-applauses free. 5 Such facts as these should have effect, To bring the haughty low; The proudest heart should feel a check, And deeply humbled too. 6 Thus Peter's mind was much impress'd, He thought himself too mean; But also felt himself distress'd, To hear he was unclean. 7 Till thou art wash'd thou hast no part In me, the Saviour said, Then Peter cried with all my heart! Wash thou my hands and head. 8 Did Jesus here by institute, This, as an ordinance? That christians e'er should execute To his rememberence. 9 For many years it was practis'd, Before our Saviour's day: Were the Apostles e'er baptiz'd? In any other way.
